Solution
From passage: "Democracy and high levels of inequality of the kind that have come to characterize the United States are simply incompatible."
This sentence introduces the main topic → sets up the entire discussion about democracy vs inequality. Perfect opener!
Next, we look for what explains this incompatibility → Sentence 4 talks about rich people using money for power. This directly supports why democracy and inequality don't work together.
Then we see "But now we have another group" → This transition word "But" signals it's continuing from a previous point, so it can't be first. It introduces a new element to the discussion.
Finally, sentence 3 starts with "Believing these people" → clearly refers back to the "unwitting enablers" just mentioned, so it must come last.
Logical flow: Problem statement → First cause → Second cause → Explanation of second cause
Key elimination strategy for sequencing:
🔍 Look for opening signals: Sentence 2 has no connecting words → perfect starter
🔍 Track pronouns/references: "these people" in sentence 3 must refer to "unwitting enablers" from sentence 1
🔍 Follow transition words: "But now" in sentence 1 shows it's adding to a previous point
🔍 Check logical connections: Sentence 4 explains why democracy and inequality are incompatible
The flow is: 2413 → Topic introduction → Rich people's role → Another group → What this group does
